New York, NY (ContentDesk) July 27, 2006 -- aGaiN NYC, a New York-based handbag and accessories line created from vintage fabrics, today announced the launch of its premier collection.
Comprised of six different styles, the collection is made from rescued and repurposed materials (JunK) that have been transformed into stylish accessories (FunK) for modern life.
Designer Allison Teich has made each bag as a limited edition, socially-conscious work of art comprised of beautiful fabrics and hardware collected from flea markets and vintage stores.
aGaiN suits the woman for whom style is a priority, but also addresses a world-wide demand for fashion that is gentle on the environment.
aGaiNs styles currently include the Laptop Bag, Yoga Mat Bag, Clutch, Hobo, Pocket Bag and Barrel Bag.
In addition to the unique sourcing of its materials, aGaiN has joined 1% for the Planet, an alliance of businesses committed to leveraging their resources to create a healthier planet.

Taking its environmental and social contribution a step further, all of aGaiNs bags are manufactured in Brooklyn, NY. My goal with aGaiN was to find a beautiful way to make whats old new again, combining my creativity with my desire to do something positive for the environment, said founder Allison Teich.
I am constantly scouring markets and online auctions to find stunning, inspiring vintage fabrics and hardware that can be transformed into beautiful accessories.
It was also important for me to keep production local and support New York artisans. To the delight of chic, eco-conscious women everywhere, aGaiN is available online at www.againnyc.com.
Given the nature of the creation process, new styles and fabrics are constantly being added, and price points range from $55 to $255.
